Dr Kara Fitzgerald has created a program called Younger You from the research she did on reversing biological age. In just eight weeks, participants decreased their biological age by 3 and a half years, just by eating well, prioritising good sleep and incorporating stress reduction.

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Younger You is the most accessible longevity program ever created. It doesn't rely on risky biohacking, it doesn't rely on expensive supplements, and it doesn't ask for extreme dietary restrictions.

It's a food-forward approach that relies on selecting epinutrient-rich foods. That is, the program identifies the foods that can beneficially impact the expression of your DNA. Many of those will be familiar to you, but some are overlooked (rosemary happens to be an absolute superstar).

So next time you're at the store, grab one of these items and treat your DNA to a little TLC:

1. Green Tea
2. Turmeric
3. Blueberries
4. Cruciferous Vegetables
5. Beets

Higher mushroom consumption was associated with a lower incidence of cancer. People with the highest intake had 80% less incidence of cancer of any type, and 65% less incidence of breast cancer.
Mushrooms are rich in bioactive compounds, including phytochemicals (plant chemicals such as flavonoids and carotenoids), fiber, selenium, vitamins, and antioxidants, such as ergothioneine and glutathione, which may help prevent cancer.

We know that type 2 diabetes accelerates biological age in humans. Now, this first-of-its-kind study shows that rapid aging can be handed down to offspring, too!

A recent mouse study found that maternal diabetes leads to premature aging of neural tissue in the fetus and pups, leading to neural tube defects. This premature aging, or senescence, is initiated by epigenetic changes in neurogenesis.

The researchers believe this is the mechanism behind the increased incidence of congenital disabilities in mothers with diabetes. The good news is that diet and lifestyle interventions can significantly impact both blood sugar regulation and epigenetic aging. In fact, this study gives us yet another reason to lean on the power of personalized nutrition for longer, healthier lives.

This new map is the basis of Functional Medicine. It is a rich new method, a fundamental change in our thinking, a whole different paradigm. It changes our approach to the very way we think about illness and the human body and brain.⁣
⁣
You and the person sitting next to you could both have chronic symptoms we call a “headache,” but maybe your pain is caused by drinking too much wine every night, while his pain is the result of being hit on the head with the empty bottle every night. As you can imagine, these two chronic headaches can’t be cured in the same way, because their root causes are different. But that approach is exactly the one the current medical community is taking!⁣
⁣
The truth is that you can’t treat mental illness effectively by using ONLY drugs or psychotherapy. You need to treat the body, because the body and brain are one interconnected system. ⁣
⁣
What you do to your body, you do to your brain. Treat your body and you treat your brain. ONLY when you fix your body will you fix your broken brain.⁣
